White Table Cloth Dining. Historical site built by Al Capone for one of his mistresses. Reputedly stuffed with sand between the ground floor ceiling and upstairs floor to slow down the bullets. Highest elevation on Al's route from Chicago to Miami. Good stopping point to pick up some of Tennessee's signature bootleg whiskeys.

This may be useful if you plan to join me in one of our adventure building projects. I designed and built the Beech treehouse, and the Eco-Container Guesthouse, not too mention the Village on Sewanee Creek Amphitheater. We are currently working on building a semi-primitive Glamp-Ground. For those interested in a creative DIY experience, we offer group builds. Build a cabin, a small sleeping Yurt (we call it a Yurtle) or an eco- sensitive Composting Toilet. Have fun welding some yard art. It’s all in a day’s fun.
